The Lead Research & Development Engineer is a senior technical leadership role responsible for both high-level engineering contribution and team-level coordination, mentoring, and delivery. This role focuses on driving innovation, ensuring technical excellence, and fostering collaboration within a team composed of Senior R&D Engineers, Level 2 and Level 1 Engineers, and Engineering Interns. The Lead Engineer serves as the primary technical authority and point of leadership for complex, high-impact projects, balancing technical depth with team leadership and delivery accountability to deliver safe, efficient, and cost-effective solutions. This role maintains active involvement in hands-on engineering work, focusing on high-complexity and high-risk designs where senior technical judgment provides the greatest impact. This role is critical to scaling engineering capacity by improving team throughput, reducing rework, and ensuring efficient execution of increasingly complex project demands.

  • Technical Expertise: Mastery of mechanical design, structural analysis, and advanced simulation tools (FEA, fatigue analysis, failure modes). Deep knowledge of cranes, hoists, hydraulic systems, and modular transport systems. Advanced proficiency in CAD platforms (SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Inventor) and engineering software (ANSYS, Nastran, Abaqus, RISA-3D). Strong understanding of industry standards (OSHA, AISC, AWS, ASME B30 Series, ANSI, ASCE-7).

  • Hands-On Technical Contribution: Maintain active involvement in engineering work, focusing on complex analysis, design, and problem-solving efforts where senior level expertise is required. Serve as a key contributor to critical projects and design reviews.
  • Project Oversight: Serve as the technical authority for high-complexity projects, establishing design parameters, leading design reviews, and ensuring sound engineering judgment is applied across all work. Ensure projects meet safety, quality, and performance benchmarks while adhering to timelines and budgets.
  • Engineering Throughput & Efficiency: Improve team productivity by reducing rework, streamlining decision making, and ensuring efficient execution of engineering deliverables. Identify and address bottlenecks that limit the team's ability to scale with increasing workload.
  • Innovation & Strategy: Drive research initiatives to identify emerging technologies, materials, and methodologies for next-generation equipment. Establish best practices for design, testing, and implementation within the team.
